Capitalises on growing academic (and public) interest in women porn consumers

Address an identified gap in the literature by presenting empirical work which elicits women's own accounts of their experiences of pornography

Provides theoretical underpinning and deeper understanding of recent observations that many women watch m/m pornography, which has so far been under-explored in the literature (although commented on a great deal in popular discourses)

Draws on a much larger sample size than previous work in this area (primarily from within fan studies looking at slashfiction) in order to more fully understand why and how women engage with m/m erotic content
